/**
 * Represents the status of an asynchronous add or convert operation.
 *
 * When a track is added using TLibraryPlaylist.addFile(),
 * ITLibraryPlaylist.AddFiles(), IITUserPlaylist.addFile(), or
 * ITUserPlaylist.addFiles(), the add may not complete immediately if iTunes
 * needs to make a copy of the file.
 *
 * Similarly, when converting or importing a file or track using
 * <code>iTunes.convertFile()</code>, <code>iTunes.convertFiles()</code>,
 * <code>iTunes.convertTrack()</code> or <code>iTunes.convertTracks()</code>,
 * the conversion will never complete immediately.
 *
 * These methods return an <code>ITOperationStatus</code> object, which can be
 * polled todetermine when the operation is done. This object will also return
 * the collection of newly added or converted tracks.
 *
 * As of version 1.1 of the iTunes type library, you should use
 * <code>iTunes.convertFile2()</code>, <code>iTunes.convertFiles2()</code>,
 * <code>iTunes.convertTrack2()</code> or <code>iTunes.convertTracks2()</code>
 * instead of the original convert methods. These new methods return an
 * <code>ITConvertOperationStatus</code> object to allow clients to retrieve
 * additional conversion progress information.
